In DIvI' Hol:
Care about your students
by James Johnson
Care about your students
Teach them well because our ways must become theirs.
They will replace us soon.
Care about your students
The future depends on them
If honor is to survive, they must know our ways
We must show them how to live
If we are to survive, they must know our ways
Care about your students
Show them how to read and write
That they might be great scholars or poets
Show them how to be honorable
That they might be great leaders
Show them how to think and learn
That they might also show their children as well
Care about your students
They must be able to function in the world we created
In order to survive we must expand
Our ways must be passed on to our children
In order to continue, our children must learn the ways of their ancestors
If they fail to learn our ways, we will die
We will have failed not only ourselves, but all our families.
Those who do not teach their children the ways of our society have already failed.
Care about your students.
I tried to get as close as I could when translating from the Klingon. I took a few liberties only to make the English flow more smoothly. If these weren't correct, please tell me so I don't repeat myself.
